Inspection Test of User Interface Overview

Component Inspector Date Status Remarks
2.1P1 GLF 21nov11 FIX Need to expand discussion in introductory paragraphs. Include discussion of the following topics:

  • The fact that no department data are pre-loaded into the scheduling program, and therefore an initial data-entry task will be required. Refer to Section 2.4 for details.

  • The way that a "template" schedule can be defined, so that entered data can be re-used from quarter to quarter. This description needs to be consistent with the way stored data are referred to throughout the scenarios. For example, we need a precise definition of "saved for the department" in the following sentence that appears at the beginning of Section 2.4:
    "The Instructor Overview list displays a list of all instructors saved for the department".
    All of the scenarios need to use language that is consistent with the stored data functionality described here in Section 2.1.

  • The details of administrator versus instructor interfaces. I am assuming that we still plan to provide an interface for individual instructors to set preferences, since that functionality important to a number of interviewed clients. That interface would be an instructor-specific version of the administrative version in Section 2.5.
